Linn LK 100 Manuel utilisateur

USIC is very important for people. It stimulates the imagination, helps them relax, can change

their mood, and of course provides entertainment and pleasure.

A good hi-fi works well enough to deliver these benefits. It also helps you appreciate music you never

thought you would.

At Linn we devote our energy to improving standards of music reproduction, because we know that the

better the sound the more you'll enjoy music at home.

The addition of any Linn component will improve the sound quality of your system. Linn has a policy of

continuously improving, its equipment allowing customers to retro-fit most product upgrades.

NTRODUCTIONThe LK100 uses the highest quality components and the latest surface mount

technology in order to achieve an excellent sound in your home.

The eight speaker sockets of the LK100 facilitate bi or tri wiring. It is ideally suited for use with the Linn

Kairn preamplifier, and makes the performance of active systems accessible to more customers than

ever before. The input/output facilities also enable the LK100 to work in multi-room hi-fi systems.

As with any amplifier, the LK100 will perform at its best when used with the highest quality source. The

better the sound from your turntable, tuner or CD player, the better the sound you will hear from the other

components in the system.

INSTALLATION Unpack the LK100 and retain the packing for future transportation.

Ensure that the amplifier is earthed and that adequate ventilation is provided. Position the amplifier at

least 15cm (6") from the turntable to avoid hum.

VOLTAGE SELECTION The LK100's transformer must be set to the voltage of the country of use – see

below:

WARNING - ENSURE MAINS SUPPLY IS DISCONNECTED

To set the voltage, rotate the voltage selector on the underside of the product until the appropriate

voltage is aligned with the white marker.

WARNING Use the earthed moulded mains lead supplied. Never use an unearthed plug or adapter.

WARNING

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

IMPORTANTThe wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green-and-yellow: Earth

Blue: Neutral

Brown: Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured

markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The wire that is coloured green-and-yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug, which is

marked with the letter E, or the earth symbol, or coloured green or green-and-yellow.

The wire that is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured

black.

The wire that is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured

red.

CONTENTS

WARNING The pre-amplifier and the power amplifier must be switched off before connecting or

disconnecting any of the plugs on the rear panel.

For all input connections, ensure that the left channel plug from the source is connected to the left

channel socket on the pre-amplifier, and the right channel plug to the right channel socket on the pre-

amplifier.

There are two sets of RCA phono sockets on the rear of the LKIOO, labelled LINE INPUT and LINE

OUTPUT. These phono sockets enable the signal to be chained from one 1K100 to another in multi-

amplifier applications.

In a system with a single power amplifier the signal from your pre-amplifier should be routed to the LINE

INPUT sockets of the LKI 00. The LINE OUTPUT sockets will remain unused.

If you have speakers that allow passive bi-amplification or tri-amplification (or if you are using multiple

LK100s to drive several sets of speakers), the signal from the pre-amplifier is routed to the LINE INPUT

sockets of the first LK100. The signal is then chained to the second LK100 by connecting an RCA phono

interconnect cable from the LINE OUTPUT of the first LK100 to the LINE INPUT sockets of the second

1K100. This connection procedure is repeated for each LK1OO in the chain.

CAUTION When passively bi-amping or tri-amping loudspeakers remove any connecting links that are at

the speaker input terminals. Failure to do this will short the amplifier outputs together and may damage

the power amplifier.

INPUT CONNECTIONS

There are four sets of speaker outputs on the rear of the LK100. This simplifies the bi-wiring of speakers

such as the Linn INDEX, HELIX or NEXUS.

Whether you are using single speaker cable, bi-wiring or tri-wiring, the 4mm plugs supplied should be

properly soldered to good quality cable. For best results we recommend Linn K20, K400 OR K600

loudspeaker cable which is available through your authorised Linn retailer.

Please note that speaker cable is directional and will perform better when orientated in the proper

direction. linn speaker cable is imprinted with a circular linn logo followed by the model number of the

cable. When the cable is properly orientated, the circular logo will point towards the loudspeakers.

For more information on the performance advantages of bi-wiring, tri-wiring, passive bi-amplifiers and

Aktiv multi-amp systems, consult your local authorised Linn retailer.

There are two levels of electronic overload protection in the LK100. The first is an over-current sensor,

which protects against short circuits on very low impedance loads. The other is an over-temperature

sensor, which protects against inadequate ventilation. The internal temperature sensor shuts the amplifier

down if the sensor reaches 70 degrees centigrade.

To re-set the LK100, switch off and wait until the POWER light goes out (approximately 40 seconds). The

amplifier will re-set itself and resume working.

LOAD IMPEDANCE The LK100 will drive two pairs of 8 ohm loudspeakers or one pair of 4 ohm

loudspeakers. You can use the LK100 to drive two pairs of 4 ohm loudspeakers, but this may cause the

over-current protection trip to operate at moderate volume levels. However, this will in no way damage

your LK100.

OUTPUT CONNECTIONS

THE LINN PERFORMANCE ADVANTAGE

TURNTABLES For best results a turntable should be placed on a small, light, rigid table, or alternatively

wall mounted on a light, rigid shelf.

KARIK AND NUMERIK The KARIK and NUMERIK should be positioned on a level surface. Extensive

internal screening in the KAIRN preamp, KREMLIN tuner, KARIK and NUMERIK facilitates stacking the

products one on top of the other without interference, if desired.

POWER SUPPLIES Take care not to position too close to signal leads, turntables or pre-amplifier.

AMPLIFIERS Pre and power amplifiers may hum if positioned too close together. For minimum hum

experiment by moving the components with the system at full volume but not playing music (although it is

best to turn the volume down whilst actually moving the components).

LOUDSPEAKERS Loudspeakers should be positioned correctly. They should be mounted on rigid

stands and not subject to any rocking movement. All Linn speakers except NEXUS and HELIX are

designed to be placed very close to the wall.

CLEAN CONTACTS lt is important that the electrical contacts in a hi-fi system are kept mechanically

sound and clean. Occasionally unplugging and replugging all the connectors will effectively clean

contacts,

WARNING This should be carried out after the mains supply has been switched off.

INTERCONNECT LEADS Correct cables should be used. We recommend good quality copper cable

for interconnect leads and advise 4mm2multicore copper cable, such as Linn K20 for speaker leads.

Your Linn dealer can supply high quality interconnects for linking all your hi-fi components.

GENERAL SYSTEM INSTALLATION

FUSE PROTECTION A fuse is fitted to the power input socket on the rear of the LK100. The fuse holder

also contains one spare fuse.

The Linn LK100 power amplifier is designed for a long life and any servicing should be carried out by an

authorised dealer.

CLEANING Dust or finger marks can be removed using a soft damp cloth. Avoid the use of domestic

cleaning products.
